Thank you everyone who helped to pull this off-it was great fun and something we really needed today! Pat, you outdid yourself with the decorations and hats. Thanks also for lending wetsuits. It was a perfect day... and the bonus paddle wasn't too shabby either. There was a circular rainbow that could be seen through the clouds in places for most of the trip. There was also a free air show from the RIANG.
